Chapter 9 Backing Town

Xiao Xia opened the package he was carrying, and the purses inside were all revealed, there were twenty-three in total, which was counted at home.

"Boss, just look at it and give a price, Grandma Liu said that you are the most fair, then you must not be wrong."

The proprietress was looking at the older girl, but she didn't expect to speak a little bit, and when the little girl walked in, she noticed that her legs and feet were not good, and she felt a pity when she looked at the little girl's crunchy little mouth.

"You can talk." Saying that, he looked at the purse on the counter seriously, the fabric was not very good, and the embroidery was exquisite, but the patterns were ordinary. nodded and spoke again: "I'll give you four cents for this purse, this is a fair price." ”

Xiao Xia thought about it, if it was modern and handmade, it would be valuable, and the labor of this era was the least valuable.

"You must be fair." Xiao Xia calculated a total of ninety-two Wen in his heart, and he didn't know what he could buy?

Xiao Xia looked left and right, in fact, there were not a few bundles of fabrics in the store, and the color was not fresh, the only fresh ones were placed at the door, and the proprietress had a business mind.

The proprietress looked at the little girl left and right to know what it meant. "What do you have to buy, I'll make it cheaper for you."

"Boss, those fabrics are cheaper, how can you sell cotton?"

"The cheap is this kind of burlap, five cents a foot, fine linen eight cents a foot, cotton cloth ten cents a foot, muslin fifteen cents a foot, if it is dyed, it is more expensive, and if it is printed with flowers, it is even more expensive. Fifteen cents a pound of cotton, if you buy me, you will count you twelve cents a pound. ”

"How many feet of cloth does the adult make a garment? How many feet of cloth do you need to make a bedding? ”

The proprietress looked at the little girl's serious appearance and thought it was funny, but she didn't bother and explained patiently. "Two feet is enough for an adult woman, and three feet for a man. A bedding of four feet of cloth. ”

Xiao Xia calculated in his heart, this money must not be enough, let's get more silver first, and then I plan to look at my legs today.

"Thank you, boss, how to get to the medical hall in the town, is there a pawnshop?"

"The medical hall is opposite, and there is also a pawnshop, if you go north, the owner of the pawnshop is not kinder than me!" The proprietress looked at the little girl's clear thinking and couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Xia took the bag of copper plates given by the proprietress and put them into her arms without opening them. "Thank you boss for your kind reminder, and I'll come to the boss to buy cloth when we come back from our errands."

Xiao Xia pulled her sister and planned to go to the pawnshop first, and when she came out of the embroidery workshop, Xiao Chun dared to speak. "Second sister, you're so good, if I don't know what to say."

"Let's come often in the future, and slowly you will get used to it and become familiar with it." Xiao Xia looked at the shop while pulling Xiao Chun away, now that she knows how to read, it is easier to find.

"Second sister, what is a pawnshop?" Xiaochun wondered what the second sister was looking for a pawnshop to do, a place to eat?

"Sister, don't talk for a while, I'll tell you what the pawnshop is doing when I come back."

As he spoke, he saw a wooden faΓ§ade with a plaque with the word dang written on it.

Xiao Xia silently took out the most ordinary gold bracelet from the space, without any patterns on it, this is also the most ordinary gold jewelry in the space, just because it does not take up space and is heavy, and when collecting materials, throw it inside by the way.

When I entered the pawnshop door, there were two chairs and a table on the left, a table for the counter on the right, and a new and old cotton jacket hanging on the wall behind the table.

Xiao Xia glanced at it and counted it in his heart, in this backward and poor place, what can be taken out as a thing, even cotton clothes are valuable, can they accept gold?

As soon as Xiao Xia finished looking, a fat man came out of the back room, with a mustache and a horizontal face, and he didn't look like a good person.

Xiao Chun was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Xiao Xia, but unfortunately Xiao Xia was too short to stop her.

When he saw that there were two beggars coming in, he just wanted to drive them away, but he didn't want Xiao Xia to sit on the only two chairs in the room. Xiao Chun kept pulling her sleeve and wanted to drag the second sister away, but Xiao Xia had already sat down, and she could only stand next to her and continue to keep her head down.

"Boss, I'm going to be something." Xiao Xia directly explained the intention.

"Humph! What are you a little beggar? Hurry up, don't mistake me for business. ”

"You can't take this." As he spoke, he spread out his palm, a Huang Tengteng gold bracelet.

The mustache's eyes flashed, and the difference in his heart, gold? Can a beggar have gold?

"I'm my mother's dowry, a real gold bracelet, and now the family is in urgent need of money, you can make a price!" Xiao Xia looked at the unkind eyes of the eight-character nonsense, and hurriedly explained his intentions, in case he saw the wealth temporarily, it was himself who suffered.

Bazihu secretly put away his greedy thoughts, he hadn't received gold for many years, and it didn't look like the two girls were lying, but it was still okay to get a little cheap.

"You'll have to let me test it, and if it's true, we'll negotiate the price."

Xiao Xia directly put the bracelet on the table, which means that you can check it!

Bazihu picked up the gold bracelet and fiddled with it carefully for a long time, and his heart must be real gold. It weighs one tael of gold, and sells for more than ten taels of silver in the market.

"I'll give you a tael of silver!" When the mustache is in his hand, he is reluctant to let go.

"The boss is really good at doing business, and one tael of silver is exchanged for one tael of gold." Xiao Xia quickly snatched his gold bracelet from the mustache, put it in his arms again, and got up to leave.

The eight-character Hu hurriedly stopped. "What's wrong?"

"Yes, my mother just asked me to come to the pawnshop in the town to have a look, and if the price is fair, I should be. Otherwise, spend a few more copper plates to go to the county seat, where there is more than one pawnshop, and there is always the most cost-effective. ”

When I heard it, I didn't expect the little girl to have this trick, so she immediately increased the price. "I'll give you one or two."

Xiao Xia continued to walk out without answering.

"If you die, how about I give you four taels?" The mustache is not going to let go of the fat that reaches the mouth.

"Death should be eight taels." Xiao Xia turned around and shook the bracelet in his hand, and his mustache followed closely.

"Five taels."

"Seven taels."

"Six taels."

"Eight taels."

"No, why are you still raising the price?" The beard of the eight-character beard is upturned.

"The things are mine, whether you take them or not is your business, and how much you give is my business." Xiao Xia pulled her sister, always with a calm face, so that Bazihu had no idea where to start.

"I've never seen you take things like that." I really haven't seen the eight-character beard, and the people who come to the pawnshop don't all nod their heads and beg themselves to give them a few more copper plates, such a hard head.

"Seven taels of silver, you can earn at least three or four taels when you change hands, and you are not me, why am I in a hurry?"

Bazi Hu thought that this is the truth, seven taels is seven taels, and he can earn three or four taels in one transaction, which is enough to work for half a year.

Bazihu was brainwashed by Xiao Xia like this and didn't know it, he didn't do this business before, he had a nickname called Eight Feet Pit, which one of his pawnshops was not cheated by him, and today he finally met his opponent.

"Seven taels is seven taels."

In this way, Xiao Xia walked out of the pawnshop with seven taels of silver in his arms, and finally felt at ease, no matter what era he had, he had a sense of security if he was rich.

"Second sister, how can you have a gold bracelet? How do you know about a pawnshop? Xiaochun felt that she was dreaming, and the second sister in the dream was someone she didn't know at all.

Xiao Xia pulled Xiao Chun to find a quiet place, and her face suddenly became very serious. "Sister, I picked up the gold bracelet in the mountains, and I heard the people in the village talk about it. But you can't tell anyone about today's incident, not even your parents. ”

"Why, we have so much money to give to our parents!" This was the first time Koharu had seen gold and silver, and he had seen a few copper plates at most. Now Xiao Xia is carrying a huge amount of money, isn't it natural to hand it over to her father and mother?

"And after that? I was asked to go by my grandmother. How can we help? I want to heal my leg, I'm so young, my grandparents don't care if I live or die. What should I do? Don't forget what Dr. Hua said, she needs ginseng to heal her illness, otherwise she won't survive for a few years. You don't want a mother anymore? ”

Faced with Xiao Xia's questioning, Xiao Chun didn't know what to do.

"With money, I can cure my legs, take care of my mother's illness, and let Xiaoqiu grow up warm and safe. Even sister, you can also have a new dress to wear. ”

Xiaochun was moved by what she said, these are what she wants, to take care of her mother's illness, to cure her sister's legs, poor third sister to eat well and dress warmly, and she can wear beautiful clothes like her sister-in-law.

"But ......"

"But what? I earned this money, don't all the money earned by our Shen family belong to themselves? Why can't you get to me? ”

Xiaochun once again felt that the second sister was right, and felt that she should still listen to the second sister, today she let herself see a lot, she is so powerful, but she doesn't know anything, it's right to listen to the second sister.

"I listen to you and don't tell anyone." Koharu finally made up her mind to keep the second sister a secret.

"It's okay to tell the truth about selling purses, but we don't think we've been to the pawnshop."

"Good. So where do we go next? ”

"Go to the infirmary."

Xiao Xia and the two easily found the medical center, and they also met people in the village on the way, so they were busy taking a photo.

"Will anyone else know?" Koharu always felt that he had done something wrong, and he was nervous, and he thought that Xiao Xia said that he couldn't let anyone know, and if he was seen by people in the same village, wouldn't he know?

"It's okay, I've been keeping an eye on it, no one is paying attention to us."

The infirmary was deserted and not a big place, and there was a teenage boy grinding medicine with a pestle. Seeing the two scrawny little beggars in disarray, he frowned and continued to grind the medicine.

"Little doctor, I'm coming to see a doctor, who in your hospital can see orthopedics?" Xiao Xia didn't care about the boy's attitude, who made them dress up like beggars. I decided that I would go to the embroidery workshop to buy a few pieces of cloth and make two clothes.

The boy may have been called a doctor for the first time, and he was in a good mood, and he looked up again and was a little enthusiastic.

"We only have one doctor in the hospital, you wait for me to call him." Running into the back hall as she spoke, Natsu listened to the boy shouting, 'Master, there's a sick person'.
